This 32 hectare estate has wonderful landscaped gardens, an olive grove and panoramic views over its vineyards. The principal Chateau has 3 bedrooms on the first floor, all with attractive en-suite bathrooms. The ground floor is tiled throughout and comprises a salon, dining room, kitchen and library.

3 gites are attached to the rear of the property, all finished to a similar standard to the Chateau. 2 have 1 bedroom each, and the largest has 2 bedrooms with a galleried landing. These all have views over the pool complex, garden and fountain.

The heated pool (11 x 5 m) has an automated security cover, and is set alongside a changing room with summer bar and a massage room with entertainment area. A spacious tasting room would make an ideal reception area for events, with plenty of space to entertain guests or clients.

The vineyard buildings include a large hangar (192m2), a vinification chai and a barrel-storage hall.

7.7 hectares of the estate are under vine, currently managed by the local co-operative, wine is made offsite - but can be bottled and labelled in the Chateau itself. This represents a hassle-free way of vineyard management, with the advantage of having your own label.

Set in the highly regarded appellation of Montravel in Bergerac, the region is noted for its reds, roses and dry whites.

Also included on the estate is a 2 bedroom caretaker's apartment, and a detached house on the edge of the plot which requires renovation.

With refurbishment having taken around 9 years, no expense has been spared in bringing this wondrous property a new lease of life. The stunning decor alone took 2 years of working full-time with a distinguished local artist.

Set in small hamlet, this property is around 10 minutes from a market town. Bergerac airport (with connections throughout Europe) is around 30 minutes away, and the international airport of Bordeaux is around 1 hour 20 minutes away.

The price includes farm equipment, and the contents of the chateau are available by separate negotiation.

Full details can be provided on proof of funds and a signed confidentiality agreement.

Buying a Property in France

1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)

On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.

The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.

Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.

2. Paying the Deposit

Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.

3. On Completion

Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.

During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
